Important to note that in 2022, the year that P&O Ferries unlawfully sacked 800 seafarers, their auditors KPMG refused to sign off their accounts. Which does make you wonder just what could have happened now to make KPMG resign? 🤔

Even KPMG have taken action against P&O Ferries. Surely the Insolvency Service should too? This just demonstrates the need for a complete ban on fire and rehire.

Why have P&O Ferries’ auditors resigned — and why are their company accounts now seven months overdue? This is a company that unlawfully sacked 800 workers. Now it’s dodging financial transparency too? Time for answers.
